Color: Transparent Yellow. Rough Trade Exclusive. With Signed Lyric Booklet. Limited to 100 copies. Signed. UPC: 5060225700241 Glasgow's Humour release their much-anticipated debut album Learning Greek (Produced by Idlewild's Rod Jones), on tastemaker label So Young Records. The 11 songs of Learning Greek combine lithe riffs, throat-stripping intensity and a crushing take on the fabled loud/quiet dynamic, with the record following two critically-acclaimed EPs from the band - 2022's "Pure Misery" and 2023's "A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me". Humour live together in Glasgow and formed across the lockdowns, writing and recording their material at home, with the music intended as a backdrop to Andreas Christoloudis' narrative-driven and often surreal lyrics. Sometimes they're about letting people down, sometimes they're about pets dying, sometimes they're about trying to say something when you don't have anything worth saying. For fans of Shame, DC Hardcore and Drive Like Jehu.
